Addressing long surgical waits for severe endometriosis in the north of England has evolved into a broader initiative involving primary care, public health, and patient advocacy with Endometriosis UK. This session will showcase case studies, data insights and digital tools that have led to the development of joined-up pathways, educational resources, and workforce webinars to accelerate referrals and diagnosis, helping to tackle inequalities in care and referral.

This work has highlighted links between endometriosis, cardiovascular disease and cancer, demonstrating the importance of promoting active health measures and the vital role of women’s health hubs in supporting patients beyond secondary care.
